Religious Studies

Faculty

Area of Study

Religious Studies is an academic, objective consideration of the many dimensions
of religion as human institution. Evaluated in its historical, cultural, psychological,
sociological, philosophical, political, and economic manifestations, religion
is a basic aspect of human experience.

The Religious Studies minor draws together courses offered in a
number of academic departments and areas to create an organized
program of study. It is an enrichment minor and does not lead to
teacher licensure without additional education. Students are admitted
to the program upon consultation with the program coordinator and the
appropriate declaration of a minor.
